What's in your water?

[Meyer Jordan]

We bought a Big Berkey a while back in case the SHTF and we were without potable water for a period.

From their website:
Berkey water filters provide the ultimate in waterbourne contamination removal. They are used worldwide to set the international standard for water filters used in clean or hostile filtration environments. Owning a Berkey Water Filter gives you the ability to utilize almost any outside natural water source and transform it into the best tasting, purest drinking water possible. All while using a natural method without the use of chemicals or complicated processes. The Berkey water filter system is so powerful it is classified as a purifier. This classification shows that we far exceed the abilities of the standard water filter. The portable Berkey can be used to filter non-potable or unhealthy water in situations where electricity and pressure are not available.

That's because it wasn't declared a sanctuary water filter.

The medicines listed are water soluble... a filter won't stop soluable material. Even activated carbon will only absorb organic as until it's saturated.
